Intro

The journey from Engelberg to Ristis serves as the starting point of the Walenpfad, a popular high-altitude hike from Ristis to Bannalp. The cable car ride up to Ristis, featuring breathtaking mountain panoramas, is worth the trip itself.

During the cable car ride from Engelberg (parking available at the valley station) up to Ristis, guests can enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding mountain scenery. The sight of the mountain range featuring Titlis, the small and large Spannort, and Engelberg's local mountain, Hahnen, is breathtaking. Right behind the Ristis mountain station, the Ristis mountain restaurant with its panoramic terrace invites visitors to linger. The Ristis mountain station also serves as the starting point for the popular Walenpfad. This high-altitude hike leads from Brunni to Bannalp and offers stunning panoramas and scenic landscapes.

The Walenpfad is considered one of the 12 most beautiful high-altitude hikes in Switzerland.
